![]() ![]() ![]() However, I compile LibreOffice from source, on a Gentoo Linux. It continues to have various annoying behaviors, which I consider bugs (however less than those that I consider bugs in MS Office), but it never crashes on any of my computers. I have been using LibreOffice daily for many years, since almost immediately after it forked from OpenOffice. In that case the crashes are probably caused by bugs that are difficult to reproduce on the developer computers. I believe that if regular crashes indeed exist, their cause must depend either on the Linux distribution and the combinations of libraries that are installed on the user computer or on the available memory size. So really, really, like the last 10 times you used LO, are you sure there was no problem at all? It doesn't help getting the software to a better state, nor does it inspire confidence to the new comers we oversell stability to. Which is a phenomenon I'm seeing a lot in the FOSS world: power users just don't see the bugs anymore because they work around them to easily and effortlessly, almost automatically. ![]() I donate to the project, I report bugs, I keep advising people to use it.īut still, either I'm incredibly unlucky, or people are just ignoring all the crashes and became blind to them. ![]() I keep reading people saying it's stable for them, but I've was using it already when it was called OOo, before we had docx support, before docx even existed. Hell, it crashed on me this week, on a 5 pages doc with images, text, one table and a few titles. The Document Foundation estimates that there are 200 million active LibreOffice users worldwide approximately 25% are students and 10% are Linux users, who usually find LibreOffice part of their preferred distribution.I don't even use LO that much, and I'm panic saving in cycle every time I do because it crashes of me so often. In 2015, the project claimed 120 million unique downloading addresses from May 2011 to May 2015, excluding Linux distributions, with 55 million of those being from May 2014 to May 2015. In the nine months between January 2011 (the first stable release) and October 2011, LibreOffice was downloaded about 7.5 million times. The project was announced and a beta released on 28 September 2010. It is the most actively developed free and open-source office suite, with approximately 50 times the development activity of Apache OpenOffice, the other major descendant of, in 2015. LibreOffice Online is an online office suite which includes the applications Writer, Calc and Impress and provides an upstream for projects such as commercial Collabora Online. LibreOffice is the default office suite of most popular Linux distributions. Ecosystem partner Collabora uses LibreOffice upstream code and provides apps for Android, iOS and ChromeOS. LibreOffice is available for a variety of computing platforms, with official support for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux and community builds for many other platforms. LibreOffice uses the OpenDocument standard as its native file format, but supports formats of most other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters.
